[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
If this is your first time rooting I would double and triple check you're rooted and good to go, and also I would do a test boot to recovery mode to make sure that's all good.

For me, the easiest way has been to flash through the recovery mode. Its basically like a factory reset though, so it will erase everything if you're going from, say touchwiz to CyanogenMod. Make sure you have a D2VZW (Verizon) ROM zip and the necessary GAPPs (Google apps like gmail, etc). Those apps can't be packaged in the ROM zip for licensing reasons. Also, you may need a radio to flash (not absolutely necessary in most cases though).

Once you have all of those, place them on your external SD card. Boot into recovery mode (you can use ROM Manager app from play store if you're having issues with that, its tricky to get the hang of the first few times). From here, you'll be wiping/formatting your /system, /cache, /sdcard (INTERNAL SD), there may be more. I always do basically everything EXCEPT your external card. From here, you'll go back to the main menu and press "install zip from SD". Then theres another option to install from external SD. Choose external SD. From here, find the radio first and install (again, not necessary). Next would be your ROM zip file with the same process, then your GAPPs file with the same process, then reboot. Don't interrupt ANYTHING its doing, or you may brick it. First switch from touchwiz to cyanogenmod took a very very long time to install the OS, probably all the formatting it had to do. Subsequent flashes take all of 15 seconds.

Dual Boot for SGSA​

So many devices are getting Dual Boot capability nowadays.So i decided to do same for our beloved SGSA.

EDIT : Guide Updated. Using slow sdcard as /system and /data was bad idea. Now secondary ROM work at same speed as primary ROM since we aren't using external SD card anymore

Read first three posts carefully before doing anything

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] wmfaiz:
tried but not work. it just boot direct to recovery
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] BOOTMGR:
Yep because you messed up with our param drivers.As i told before don't use any command like reboot recovery and don't use 4 way reboot (if your ROM supports) to enter recovery.This will keep you throwing into recovery.The solution is flash primary ROM's kernel then reboot normally.Use UKF to flash secondary kernel.Now power off your device and then use Hardware keys to enter recovery or if you've already installed secondary ROM then power on normally.

Our ramdisk is splitted on device tree/rootdir, device-common/rootdir, vendor/cm/rootdir and so... We went back to gzip kernel compression so you can easily unpack its boot.img

dual boot?

cool...

I was used dual boot on my old device Galaxy Tab 2, very useful for testing a new rom before become it that rom as primary rom for daily use

great work
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] BOOTMGR:
Update

So as i told on FB group yesterday i managed to boot both ROMs directly from eMMC.

--> Now we don't need external sdcard.

--> Both ROMs works at same speed.

--> Stable, no bugs.

--> Easy to install.

For writing noob friendly guide it took longer time.So if i'd forgot to write anything or if you've any question feel free to post here.

But Before posting anything read first 3 posts carefully.

And yeah i'm also writing an app to do it easily.Once i'll do it, this will be much easier.

Sorry guys i've messed up my Debian partition so can't add support for CM11, CM10.1 now. I'll add links for them asap :cowboy:.

Till then enjoy CM10.2 and keep supporting me...:good:
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] d@rkl0rd:
Many thanks for your hardwork man! For achieving dual boot on our device and keep on simplify the method of doing it. It is also happy to see that there is another app under developing to make things more easier, i will definitely try this out once i finished my exam!

OFFTOPIC

Did anybody tell you that you are AWESOME.

If you can debloat more and odex your harshjelly rom & put the odexes in preload folder and symlink them to /system, then probably you can save some space in /system partition and /data as dalvik cache wont be generated.

As you said there wont be any future updates, odexing is a fine option.

Just a thought. Can it be done ????

EDIT:

You can also remove apps like gmail hangouts etc as they are updated from time to time. You will save some space in /system

Again offtopic

Are you going to change your rom's name BOOTMGRjelly???
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] jineshpatel30:
<O.T>

+1 to each thing in above post....

let me again tell u that you r really really AWESOME :D :p :angel: :laugh: ;)

btw idea of debloating HJ is good ......personally i'm using heavily debloated HJ without any feature loss :p
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] purplepizza:
I assume Primary ROM must be 4.0 or higher and not GB?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] darcik:
Just installed CM 10.2 as You wrote, all works fine. Great work, really. Tnx for that.

I have a question: if is possible to make links from main ROM app and data to second ROM app and data to save space?

I mean: no install new app only use existing installation of applications and their data.

GT-I9070 ==> Tapatalk space
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] BOOTMGR:
Yeah it can be fitted as secondary ROM by debloating.But still some users will ask for some features.We can even use symlinks and can place it as secondary ROM without debloating it but it'll raise complexities.So it is better to use it as secondary ROM.

Odexing and placing them on /preload i also nice idead.But still i'll prefer to use it as primary ROM...

BTW,HarshJelly seems better than BOOTMGRjelly...:silly::p

Yeah.No support for GB (i'll think about it.If there won't be much difference (except baseband) between GB and JB we can also do it.)

Yesterday [MENTION=4879114]Sami Kabir[/MENTION] asked same question on FB group.Here is the answer.

Only apps can be shared between both ROMs not their data.The reason is that data of system apps and normal data apps both are stored under same folder (/data/data).So can't we share this folder? answer is no because namespace conflicts will arise there (Ex. package name for phone app is com.android.phone.It'll remain same for all android versions.It is possible that use have installed both ROMs of different API level.So if one phone app stores its data under /data/data then other won't be able to read it and you'll get FC)

Although it is possible to share apps between two apps.When i'll complete app, i'll provide an option for that....:good:
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] darcik:
Cache partition

Do I need to also delete files from or format the cache partition?

Idk if this partition is used if is only one ROM, seems not if dual is using it. ;)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] BOOTMGR:
CM11 Support

Yeah i forgot to write, you also need to delete contents of /cache folder or format cache partition.

That partition is like placebo.It is only used when upgrading android (that means generating dalvik cache (actually that partition was used to store dalvik cache but later on dalvik cache was also moved to /data partition so its useless now except time of generation of dalvik cache)

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION]:

Added CM11 support.

Links are up.

Method remains same.

I've checked way to share apps between ROMs (and thus storage use will be much less).

I'll let user to choose whether to share apps or not which will be possible through DualBoot app.

Hi all,

I have a galaxy s2, running 4.3.1 thanks to Paranoid Android. However,I would like to flash a new kernel that is supported by PA 3.99. I tried Dorimanx, but I lost root! I searched for many other kernels that Jelly Bean supports,but all for s3, nexus 4 or other phones. These kernels include Faux and many others...

Could someone help me as to how to keep root when flashing a new kernel and any advice about any kernel? (Note:I tried flashing the super user zip but doesn't help). Oh, and, dream kernel, siyah kernel and googy kernel either not compatible with JB or galaxy s2. Help please.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] NightRaven49:
Odin v4.38 is for Galaxy Mini (GT-S5570). Odin v1.84 is for Galaxy Mini

Plus

(GT-S5570I). That is why Odin v4.38 cannot detect your phone, but v1.84 can.

For CWM, I don't use Odin to install it, but I use a flashable CWM that has the same functions.

And besides, kernels such as Cyanus kernel and GearKernel have CWM-based recoveries, so it doesn't really matter once you flash them.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindgrenade:
I rooted my nexus 4 a few weeks ago, and now I'm just getting a blinking red light on my device. I left it on charge and when I got back there was nothing.

I tried all the different troubleshooting options such as plugging it in while holding the button down etc...

Everything I've read leads me to believe this is an unrelated battery fault. But now I have to RMA the device! Does anyone have any prior experience with this and warranty/root? It won't boot or show as a device or anything so I can't exactly remove the traces of root...

[G2 Accessories] Ferio12:
Hello Everyone,

I've ordered several different screen protectors from different brands over the last weeks for my G2 but they all seem not to fit.

I have a white European T-mobile version D802 and all of them do not cover the screen completely. The screen protector does not cover the sides 100% and have a space of 3mm uncovered, from the top or bottom it is about 5mm. This is including the parts (forgot name for this) where's no touchscreen.

Is it supposed to be like this or am I having bad luck in choosing protectors?

I would like to have a protector that covers the entire front, could any of you point out a good one?

Thanks everyone!
[G2 Accessories] MrCes:
im having same prob.I picked up a few from a tmobile store and for some reason it seems smaller
[G2 Accessories] PAGOT:
The screen is curved on the edges, its not possible to cover it 100 percent as it would show and it wont stick on the edge and you will notice the protector easier + dust.

Anyway if you wanna get the flipcover you absolutely need the protector. The flip is a bad design as it is ... scratched the screen and now the protector as well... Who thought to make the inside of the window plastic or metallic was an idiot... (its harder as the soft "pillow" and every dust speck or anything between is automatically going to scratch the screen)
[G2 Accessories] Ferio12:
Understand.

In that case it covers the top to bottom part of the touchscreen, but still on the sides the touchscreen is not covered completely by 2mm +/-
[G2 Accessories] Jimmy2u:
Have you checked out the ones manufactured by Zagg or Xtremeguard....???

if not then just hit it out once on Amazon or ebay.....
[G2 Accessories] mikedeconboy:
The ZAGG protector is really good in covering 99% of the phone and with the protector being a wet-application it will stick with the curved screen. only problem is that it has the orange peel look and feel.

Edited:

OH and if you do order the Zagg protector don't order the back protector...it doesn't fit properly...
[G2 Accessories] citytrader:
I dont understand why people are buying screen protectors for G2, are useless in devices with Gorilla Glass, my Samsung Galaxy S2 has 2 years old without any mark on it... don't waste your money.
[G2 Accessories] PAGOT:
:) good luck. It doesn't mean indestructible. Only harder to scratch...

I had many gorilla glass devices. In company as well. Everything gets scratched. I do not buy protectors normally. But I have the flip scratcher(cover) as I said, that's just bad design....
[G2 Accessories] citytrader:
Come on, what a way of thinking, of course if you scrape the surface with sand you will scratch the phone...

I never had a scratch with normal use of my phones...
[G2 Accessories] PAGOT:
Come on, what a way of thinking, of course that you can't see the scratch doesn't mean that they are not there ....

I have many friends that were thinking that their phones have a pristine surface. No scratches.."THINKING"

You should not care about what you do not see though.

I just said that the FlipCover is a bad design... (very bad) and the glass not indestructible. Also under some circumstances likes to get scratched.

Also [MENTION=4447958]citytrader[/MENTION] sorry, but sand you can find anywhere ... Just try to travel between Cairo and Alexandria and see in which places on your body you will find Sand.....

Hey guys!

I'm just curious as how people are considering using their cases.

There was a poll like this on Nexus 10 and naked won hands down. But seeing as this is a phone, I thought maybe it'd be different.

Maybe post as to why you use your phone naked, or otherwise?

Anyways, happy voting!

Personally, I use it naked because it just feels better that way. I also never drop things, so I'm not worried about any damage.

Well I can't throw it at a wall with just the ringke slim case and screen protector but some protection is better than none, I just wish places would make a true full body protection film for it, kind of like the skinomi I have on my n4 (it covers front, back and sides) so far I'd only seen ones that cover front and back not the sides.

Naked, considering there's no official case out yet. It seems third-party cases never fit as well for feel as comfortable as those made by the manufacturer.
